Nobody actually uses this word, either in speech or in writing... We just say "hashtag" as though it were a Norwegian word, much as we do with a number of English phrases.
English sheds a single tear of pride at babby thief language's word larceny. Keep it up, one day you'll be as linguistically muddled as english is~

It was back in the 80s, not nowadays. Not much of an excuse because even then that shit didn't particularly fly, but still.

That noted, northam's response to the issue has been mindbogglingly incompetent, from what I've noticed. His follow-up to denying being one of the two in that picture was to then note he did "darken his skin" (or something along those lines) for a michael jackson costume during the same period, ferex, and overall has been shifty about stuff he really shouldn't have been.

Shit's just been kind of a train-wreck, and most signs seem to be saying most of us would indeed be better off if northam stepped down. If nothing else he's been being somewhat surprisingly piss poor at PR work :-\

Well, bring a friend, then. Or two. However many is appropriate. They can start counting when you run out of applicable appendages. If you don't have friends, drop some dosh and hire local hobos for a shin tooth counting spell. You're noodly enough to figure out a way forward on the quest to count the teeth.

... y'know, considering the source image for that thing, it fits remarkably well in context of discussing someone gnawing on fish dick. Good show, uh. Person who made it whose name I'm blanking on. e: there was a t? Was there a t?

We tax citizens abroad anyway, heh. Seem to recall there's even something for expats.

Though I guess if it'd make them feel better while still getting their share out their pocket, then whatev', let 'em go. Smaller region to rummage through if we need to find them, if it comes to it...

Eh, I'm struggling to not respond with just a "fuck that". You're going to have a hell of a time, if it's possible at all, to make a ruleset that applies to every one exactly the same without either fucking over the people at the bottom or functionally doing fuckall to the people at the top. You can't really get around that when you're dealing with both cases where, say, 30-50% taxation means they're omnifucked and cases where the folks involved can lose 70+% of their everything and barely have any substantial impact on their lifestyle (and not because they already have sod all). You kinda' need progressive taxation schemes and whatnot, and to not treat people with wildly different circumstances the same.

Any case, we could probably stand some speed bumps and dampening effects at the mo', at the end of the day. Probably wouldn't hurt, give a bit more leeway to hammer other things out.

I don't care who broke the treaty first. I just think that we should't welcome a new nuclear arms race. One would hope those politicians did their actual jobs by negotiating a solution
I mean, one, lots of the ones capable of doing that job got kicked out. Two, russia was apparently doing it anyway, so negotiations came pre-fucked, even if the shitgibbon's lot was able and willing to attempt them. Unfortunately you can't really negotiate with an insistently bad faith actor. Double unfortunately, that describes both russia for a while now and much of the US's current upper administration.

So, like. Omnifucked, welcome to stupid cold war to go with your stupid watergate. Do whatever your equivalent to praying is for it to not go hot.

You joke, but I'm pretty sure I've ran into a couple things over the years where someone's tits were, in fact, magical artifacts of great power, or something roughly equivalent.

Folks have rolled with other body parts, too. There's like an entire manga series I'm forgetting the name of that was fairly tame, but the key plot hook was some dude had like the omnidevil sealed into his balls, and him getting off meant the end of the world. Not particularly good, but better than you'd expect given the concept.

Its servers closed like four or five years ago, checking. It's been resurrected as something else though, I think? Window's Store?

Yes? Fuck public schools are their baseline goal, along with fuck almost everything else public, too. Replace it with something is questionable, since plenty of their higher ups would be perfectly happy to let poor people just get fucked indefinitely.

Turning it private is just a happy medium that lets them rip off the newly (even more) desperate.

And yeah, it'll probably go to court. If there's anything anti-establishment chucklefucks, particularly republican ones, can't wrap their heads around, it's due legal diligence. Something about spending too much time around casual corruption, if I had to guess.

Eh... blockade and silly block crushes the game pretty easily, too. Probably easier, most of the time -- defense generally seems to win out over offense for most (vanilla, particularly) StS fights (exception being probably the nob and maybe the statue, iirc... could argue the cultists I guess but they're too squishy to matter). Also more comfortably opens up the option of, y'know, taking one of the neow options that dumps your starter relic. Ironclad's is probably the best but none of them (well, without getting mods involved as some those have hella' sexy starters) are really that good. Aiming to replace isn't exactly a terrible idea if you're running a vanilla critter.

though why you'd run a vanilla critter at this point when the mod scene has more or less taken off running I dunno :P

E: Though getting more block cards when the RNG's screwing you... I got nothin'. You can try mods that add more cards, or roll with endless in hopes of getting them in the second go through, but ultimately if the seed decides all you're getting is an iron wave then all you're getting is an iron wave. Bout all you can do at that point is go reproductive organs out and roll full offensive.

... man, when people say heavy metal I'm never sure exactly what they're talking about when it's outside the context of music. The first thing I always remember so far as other media goes is heavy metal magazine, which was, y'know. Substantially composed of porn.

*shrugs* I mean, polling and whatnot have made it pretty clear that american evangelical christianity is one of the country's lingering bastions of racism, and that racial animus is/was one of the/the strongest predictor for trump support. Evangelicals support the open bigot because lots of them are, y'know. Also bigots, and like the hatred that was being spewed.

Add on the single-issue folks that don't give a flying fuck who gets hurt so long as their pet issue (usually fairly explicit religious dominance, in evangelicalism's case) is sucked up to and the super low info folks that were just listening to their priest/other congregation members and you hit a lot of the folks in question. The religious aspects are as much post-facto justification as anything, at the end of the day.

Well, and beyond that god wanting the shitgibbon to be president might not be, like, a good thing for believers. The christian god is pretty willing to send demons to test the faithful, y'know, or otherwise fuck with people for reasons varied. If god sent it and it's not hollering BE NOT AFRAID or somethin' you might want to be worried :V

It's entirely possible within the framework of the theology in question that this entire mess has been a test... and one that, given the works in question, the christians still supporting trump and company have proooobably failed miserably. It's fairly hard to piss on the christian ethical framework, and by extension god and its son, more emphatically than trump's administration has been doing, heh.

Man where did this lewd cosplay thing come from. I s2g it feels like a year or so ago it was basically just Jessica Nigri getting a little bit more nsfw, then all of a sudden BAM. the most attractive man I've ever seen apparently cosplaying deku. You can tell, because he has green hair, even if hes practically naked.
I'unno if it's getting more prevalent or somethin' but lewd cosplay (or just straight up porn, for that matter) has been a thing for a good long while. Hell, pretty sure it like pre-dates the internet, at the absolute least before it had actual pictures and whatnot.

I've been getting Japanese-language games as well though. I think there might just be something weird with the Steam algorithm, where it's no longer hard-excluding games in languages you don't speak, and there's no way to force it to do so, apparently.
Hey, you don't have to speak the language to play the game. It helps, but it's not needed often enough.

... wish I could remember which it was, but I'm pretty sure I played through an old SNES or NES jrpg that was untranslated. I figured out yes and no and that (well, and probably far too many hours of banging my electronic head into walls figurative and otherwise) was all it took. Less text heavy stuff is basically easy mode.
